It’s unfortunate that STALKER 2 never made its April 2022 release date. However, it appears as though the long-awaited FPS horror game from GSC could be launched at the start of December, even though there’s been no official confirmation.
That’s according to the game’s listing on German retail website , as spotted by ex-VGC writer . As of this story going live, it looks as though STALKER 2 may be releasing on December 1. That goes for all pl🙈atforms, it seems.
Plaion/Koch Media S⛄tore has listed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl for December 1st 2023 releaꦉse.
This is most likely accurate as other titles have placeholder dates of December 31st 2023, They have previously leaked dates including Darksid💫ers 2 for Nintendo Switch.

Of course, the developer hasn’t said anything about this, so it’s hard to say whether this is accurate information or not. currently has the game’s release date as December 31, which is likely just a placeholder.
This sounds a bit familiar
Maybe some of you are scratching your heads and thinking, “Wait. Didn’t we already get a confirmed launch window?” Why, yes. Back in January 2022, GSC Game World did post on to say that STALKER 2 was coming December 8, 2022. Though that was last year, and as you can see, that didn’t happen, either.
As such, it seems as though the releas𝓰e date is probably going to be December, but temper expectations 🦹until we get official word.
It’s a shame the studio had to push back the upcoming sequel. Much of the delay came from the Russian invasion into Ukraine that begin at the start of 2022, which forced the developer to relocate to Prague.
As such, delaying the release of STALKER 2 was expected but understandable, and most fans are happy to wait a little longer. Hopefully, GSC will make an announcement soon around this possible December 1 releasꦕe date.
